The 32-year-old recently gave a rare interview to Newsweek, in which he spoke about his efforts — along with Will and Kate — to bring the British monarchy into the 21st century. He also made a pretty surprising comment, about how no one really wants to be king or queen.

"We are involved in modernizing the British monarchy. We are not doing this for ourselves but for the greater good of the people," he told Newsweek. "Is there any one of the royal family who wants to be king or queen? I don't think so, but we will carry out our duties at the right time."

Harry seems to take a practical approach to his responsibilities as a royal family member, but he acknowledges that ultimately no one can really take the queen's place.

"The monarchy is a force for good," he said. "We want to carry on the positive atmosphere that the queen has achieved for over 60 years, but we won't be trying to fill her boots."

He opened up further in the interview about his mother's death, and how he became inspired to make a difference with his royal title.

"My mother died when I was very young. I didn't want to be in the position I was in, but I eventually pulled my head out of the sand, started listening to people and decided to use my role for good. I am now fired up and energized and love charity stuff, meeting people, and making them laugh," he said. "I sometimes still feel I am living in a goldfish bowl, but I now manage it better. I still have a naughty streak too, which I enjoy and is how I relate to those individuals who have got themselves into trouble."

Despite his royal position, Harry claims he lives a relatively normal life.

"People would be amazed by the ordinary life William and I live. I do my own shopping. Sometimes, when I come away from the meat counter in my local supermarket, I worry someone will snap me with their phone," he said. "But I am determined to have a relatively normal life, and if I am lucky enough to have children, they can have one too." He added: "Even if I was king, I would do my own shopping."

The interview contains some other interesting gems about Harry's personal life — including his love life. When he took his girlfriend and "Suits" actress, Meghan Markle, on a date to London's Natural History Museum, he persuaded the museum to stay open after hours so they "could commune with the dinosaurs in private," the author wrote.

The article also touches on Harry's eating habits: "He often pops into [Will and Kate's] apartment at Kensington Palace, where she cooks him a meal — roast chicken is reportedly a particular favorite."

Harry suspects that the public's interest in him is dwindling. "I feel there is just a smallish window when people are interested in me before [William's children] take over," he said, "and I've got to make the most of it." We're fairly confident his popularity won't diminish anytime soon, though.
